GOV. JACKSON CORRECT

GOV. JACKSON CORRECT.
The vindication of right often
comes slowly and by indirect means,
yet surely and certainly it comes at
last.
So now, long after the famous fight
oil Ex-Governor Jackson to enforce
the State Constitution inviolate, and
10 sustain the reassessment, the
echoes of which yet resound through
the State, comes the Supreme Court
OF the United States, and in a case
exactly parallel to the one which au.
itated our State, it renders its decis.
lon endorsing every point which Gov.
jackson maintained.
The decision is crushingly en-
phatic. 1t is the decision of the Su-
preme Court of the land, the final
hrbiter of our laws, the most learned
body in the world. The unanimous
decision of court whose members
with one exception, belong to that
Republican party which bitterly op-
posed the Governors actions.
And this decision, final, emphatic,
which cannot be reviewed, pronounces
that the Governor was right and his
opponents all were wrong.
The case in which the Supreme
Court has just rendered this decision
is the case of Huntington vs.. Wor-
then, brought up from the State of
Arkansas, and reported in 12O u. S.
Reports, page 81, and decided on
January q, 1887.
Briefly we viii now show that the
West Virginia and Arkansas cases
were parallel, and that the Supreme
Court arrived at the same decision as
Governor Jackson.
The point adjudicated in this case
which was decided was this as taken
from the syllabus: The statute of
Arkansas Of March 81, 1883. sec. 46
which directs the board of railroad
commissioners not to include embank.
ments, tunnels, cuts, ties, trestles OF
bridges in the schedule Of the prop
erty of railroad companies, prepared
by them for the purpose of assess
ment Of taxes, is in conflict with the
provisions in the Constitution Of the
State Of 1874, relating to the assesa-
ment and taxation ofproperty within
the State; but, the unconstitutional
part Of the act being seperable from
the remainder, the latter continues
valid.
This is the point decided Let us
nov look at the similarity Of the con-
stitutions and laws Of the two States.
The constitution Of the State Of
Arkansas, which we copy from the
case above mentioned provides that
CAL property subject TO taxation
shall be taxed according to IFS value
70 be ascertainod in such manner ne
the general assembly shall direct.
making the same equal and uniform
throughout the State" and that "no
one species Of property, from which
a tax may be collected, shall be tax.
ed higher than there species Of prop.
erty Of equal value
It then provides that tho following
property may be exempt from taxa.
ton Public property, churches, Gem.
oteries and property used for school
purposes and charities.
By looking at Sec ] Art. 10 ofthe
Constitution Of West Virginia. it will
be seen that our Constitution is ideD.
teal In meaning with that Of the
State Of Arkansas, and that &c pro.
vidcs chat tho same property may be

Strange Control of Horses.

Since boyhood l have always had
strange control Of horses. l can no more
explain it than could tell you why my
eyes are black; but it is fact that before
/ have handled a horse long he will fol-
low me like dog and answer my COM
mand. ! once had the four horses that
pull the engine at Broadway and Almond
under such control that at the distance Of
q block they would answer my whistle
and race like the wind to see which
could reach me first. An old fire horse
was once sold to an ashman. He was
hitched to post block away, and l
thought l recognized him, and whstled.
/ had not seen him for two years, but he
recognized my whistle, and, breaking the
hitching strap, he came tearing to me,
with the cart rafting behind him. A few
m inutcs later the excited owner came up
